1. From out of a wood did a cuckoo fly, Cuckoo,
He came to a manger with joyful cry, Cuckoo,
He hopped, he curtsied, ’round he flew,
And loud his jubilation grew,
Cuckoo, Cuckoo, Cuckoo.
2. A pidgeon flew over to Galilee, Vrercroo
He strutted and cooed and was full of glee, Vrercroo,
And showed with jewelled wings unfurled,
His joy that Christ was in the world,
Vrercroo, Vrercroo, Vrercroo.
3. A dove settled down upon Nazareth, Tsucroo,
And tenderly chanted with all his breath, Tsucroo,
He seemed to say: “You’re good and true,
My beauty do I give to you”
Tsucroo, Tsucroo, Tsucroo.
